Hi all,
I will be using a ST 46 shortly. It will be in a Lampione F-86 and I am hoping it will be 50 oz. or less.
What are your suggestions for prop, fuel, venturi size, etc. ?
Thanks!

Bolly 11.5 x 6.5 2 or 3 blade works well
Bolly 12 x 6 n 3 blade
Rev up 11 x 5 work well
BYO 12 x 5 cut to 11 inches works good too
One of the new Zinger pro series 12 x 5 should work too

If you have any, 11.5x6 rev up, 12x6rev up work well also. I was
always amazed that the Bolly 11.5x 6.5 3 blade worked, as it seemed like a lot of prop, but work it did. As my engines were set
up by others, mostly Randy, I just used the venturie they came with.

The BOLLY 11.5 x 6.5 2 blade and 11 1\4 x 6.5 3 blade was developed for use for the Super Tiger 46 by Les Bollenhagan and Brian Eather many years ago

Thanks, Randy!

Mine seem to like the Taipan 11-5.

I've had a good bit of luck with the ubiquitous Rev-Up 12x5.

I got a ton of those. I had been using some AHM (English) 11 1/2 - 6 1/2 props.
Don't have any of the Bollys........yet.

The weight , drag , and how easy / hard the plane is to pull in the manouvers, plus other factors will determine what prop-pitch you will use
Be looking forward to seeing the F-86
